As part of the OneHealth interventions road-map to set up an education platform, GCRF-OneHealth members drafted inputs for an e-learning course which will avail the material to an online audience for free.
On 6-7 Nov, our Grenada team from SGU Health Department held a virtual public health international conference in which the OneHealth project was introduced to the audience in a pre-conference segment. Following this and in line with the network’s roadmap, the plan was developed to offer a Free Open Access Online Course titled One Health: Making an Impact Through Community Led Interventions.
The course is aimed to support the exchange of knowledge, experience, ideas and capacity building among academic and non-academic stakeholders and develop solutions on how to achieve the triple health and environment co-benefits of access to clean water, a basic human right, healthy and productive soils and delivery of safe and nutritious foods.
